More quotes by T. H. White
Believe me, the so-called primitive races who worshipped animals as gods were not so daft as people choose to pretend. At least they were humble. Why should not God have come to the earth as an earth-worm? There are a great many more worms than men, and they do a great deal more good.

Why can't you harness Might so that it works for Right? I know it sounds nonsense, but, I mean, you can't just say there is no such thing. The Might is there, in the bad half of people, and you can't neglect it. You can't cut it out but you might be able to direct it, if you see what I mean, so that it was useful instead of bad.
T. H. White
[Kay] was not at all an unpleasant person really, but clever, quick, proud, passionate and ambitious. He was one of those people who would be neither a follower nor a leader, but only an aspiring heart, impatient in the failing body which imprisoned it.
T. H. White
Perhaps we all give the best of our hearts uncritically--to those who hardly think about us in return.
T. H. White
In war, our elders may give the orders...but it is the young who have to fight.
T. H. White
Life is too bitter already, without territories and wars and noble feuds
T. H. White
The destiny of man is an individualistic destiny.

You run a grave risk, my boy, said the magician, of being turned into a piece of bread, and toasted.
